If you're looking for a walk that's also suitable for wheelchair users, or anyone bringing along a pram, the White Moss Common walk in Cumbria is a brilliant choice - with some amazing mountainous views along the way.
This is an easy Lake District walk from the White Moss Common car park situated between Grasmere and Rydal Water. The first section is on an accessible path through woodland with the latter section still suitable for most abilities, Lancs Live reports.

The walk is a woodland and riverside trail to the Grasmere outflow that’s for families with small children and pushchairs. The area consists of a series of nice footpaths taking you through woodland and meadows between Rydal Water and Grasmere Lake.
On the way look out for picturesque waterfalls and pretty bluebells in the spring time. It's a pretty area with picnic tables and the option of crossing a bridge and heading to Grasmere - you also need to stop off in Grasmere and pick up some Grasmere gingerbread.
Once you've finished this walk, or even along the way, you can stop off at The Swan in Grasmere which has one of the most amazing backdrops in the Lake District.
The Swan at Grasmere sits in a valley in the shadows of patchwork mountain ranges. The traditional ancient inn, which dates back to the 1650s, was legendary author William Wordsworth's local. It featured in in his 1806 poem, The Waggoner
